EPISODE 191 DETAILS
HOW TO USE MULTIMIN & LACTIPRO.
Your Best Shot at Strategic Trace Mineral Supplementation for Cattle
Supports Cattle Health and Reproduction
Multimin® 90 is a unique injectable solution containing zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium, proven to support cattle health and reproduction. Research shows that strategic trace mineral supplementation enhances breeding success, healthy calving, and improved immunity.
Successful Breeding
Using Multimin 90 improves trace mineral status in breeding stock, leading to more calves in fewer days.
Healthy Calving
Third-trimester injections improve cow-to-calf trace mineral transfer and colostrum quality, especially when used with a scours vaccine.
Enhanced Immunity
Multimin 90 boosts vaccine protection and strengthens the immune response when integrated into a vaccination protocol.
Why Is Trace Mineral Supplementation Necessary?
Inadequate trace mineral status in cattle can lead to suppressed immune function, lower fertility, and decreased growth. Oral nutrition programs face challenges such as:
Antagonists in water/feed binding minerals in the rumen, limiting absorption
Variation in intake among cattle
Increased mineral demand during stressful events, which oral minerals cannot quickly meet
How Does Multimin 90 Work?
Multimin 90 complements an oral nutrition program by rapidly increasing zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium levels in cattle during high-demand periods. Administered via subcutaneous injection, it reaches peak levels in the blood within 8-10 hours and is stored in the liver for later use.
Benefits of Strategic Supplementation with Multimin 90
Rapid peak plasma levels within 8-10 hours
Bypasses rumen antagonists
Ensures consistent supplementation for every animal injected
Can be used during high-demand periods like calving, breeding, vaccination, and transportation
When to Use Multimin 90
Cows and Heifers
Last trimester of pregnancy
30 days pre-breeding or at CIDR insertion (11 days before AI)
Bulls
Weaning
90 days post-weaning
45-60 days prior to breeding season
Calves
Branding/first vaccination
Weaning/preconditioning
Stockers
At processing
How to Use Multimin 90
Consult your veterinarian and follow label directions.
Multimin 90 has a 14-day pre-slaughter withdrawal and 0-day milk withdrawal.
Calculate the correct dosage based on the animal's weight.
Maximum volume per injection site is 7 mL.
Follow Beef Quality Assurance guidelines for proper subcutaneous injections.
By strategically using Multimin 90, cattle producers can enhance herd health, reproduction, and immunity, leading to better productivity and success.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR MULTIMIN® 90: Not for use in humans, keep out of reach of children. Multimin 90 has a pre-slaughter withdrawal time of 14 days after injection. Do not use it during the first trimester of pregnancy or in pre-ruminant calves as safety has not been established. Selenium and copper are toxic if administered in excess and may lead to sudden death, depression, weakness, ataxia, salivation, and drooling. Do not use concurrently with other selenium or copper injections or boluses. Maximum volume per injection site is 7 mL. Allow a minimum of 30 days before considering repeat dosing. See prescribing information.
Introduction to Lactipro®
Lactipro® is a rumen-native probiotic containing a live, stable strain of Megasphaera elsdenii (Mega e®), an effective lactic acid utilizer. It helps cattle producers maintain healthy rumen pH and improve profitability by accelerating finishing diets and reducing post-terminal processing mortality.
Key Benefits of Lactipro®
Shortens step-up period by 50% or more
Reduces post-terminal processing performance losses
Supports rumen health in hospital cattle
Lactipro® promotes rumen health during transitions to higher-grain diets, grazing crop residue, and as bulls move to higher energy diets during development.
How Does Lactipro® Work?
Naturally occurring Mega e takes weeks to handle grain-based diets effectively. Fast-growing bacteria produce excessive lactic acid, lowering rumen pH and causing health issues like acidosis. Lactipro® introduces Mega e directly into the rumen, consuming lactic acid and producing butyric acid, which promotes cell growth and better VFA absorption.
The Importance of Mega e Strain
MS Biotec’s patented Mega e strain is selected for its:
Rapid growth and resilience
Production of butyric acid
Compatibility with feed additives
Enhanced rumen fermentation with other microbials
Two Formulations of Lactipro®
LactiproNXT®
An easy-to-use drench available in 200 mL and 1,000 mL pouches, ideal for processing multiple cattle.
LactiproFLX®
A small capsule in a 25-capsule resealable pouch, perfect for individual animals or small groups.
Administration
Both formulations provide equal bacterial counts and are effective, with an extended shelf life requiring refrigeration. LactiproFLX comes in three types:
Dairy – for beef cows
Feedlot – for feedlot cattle and developing bulls
Calf – for young calves
Use Cases
Accelerated Step-Up
Shortens step-up period by 50% or more for a faster diet transition.
Terminal Processing
Reduces post-terminal processing performance losses.
Other Use Cases
Supports rumen health during diet transitions, grazing, and bull development phases.
Integrating Lactipro® ensures a healthier rumen, leading to better overall cattle health and profitability.
